'Mione—
The
war is starting, and I'm damn nervous, I must admit. It's late,
and we all just got back from school. Ginny's in her room, sleeping
or crying…I'm not sure. I can't wait until the wedding, and I'm
saying I can't wait because it will be a wonderful event—the
marriage of my brother. But really I know I want to see you.
I
guess I'll be seeing you early then. You'll come over here, and I
guess we'll go to France, then, if your parents approve. The funny
thing is…I don't think I really know your parents. Have I ever
seen them? I don't quite remember.
I just read over this and
realized that I can't give this to you. Looks like it's time to
rewrite! But I'll save this, anyway. You never know. I might want
you to read this one day…

Well,
you just wrote me a letter. I feel stupid, because yes, I've
already written you back yet here I am writing you another letter…one
you'll never even see! But just in case I go to read this, years
from now, and wonder what the bloody hell I'm talking about, you've
just invited me to your house next week. I'm not quite sure why.
Part of me wants it to be that I'm "meeting your parents", but
I won't grace myself with that honor.
Harry is at his aunt and
uncle's still. Part of me is saying, "It would be quite nice to
go and save him!" But the other part is elated that you've
invited me over.
I just realized I can't dance.

Hermione,
Sweet
Merlin, I'm over your house now. And I'm in your guest bedroom!
Your parents are nice folks, really, although I don't think your
dad likes me much. Maybe I'll actually give you this letter…but
wait, never mind.
Anyway, we just came upstairs after dinner. And
I'm going to hang out in your room and talk with you, about when we
should pick up Harry, and stuff, but Ginny's here too, and really I
was thinking me-and-Hermione-in-her-room-alone…but Ginny tagged
along, so never mind that! I wish that you had one more guest bedroom
so maybe we could have some time alone.
Right, well, I have some
business to take care of, and then I'll go visit you. I really
don't know why I write these…
Maybe I do for therapy…
Ron
Hermione…
We
decided we'd finish the week out at your house and then get Harry.
That's where we just were. Your folks were sweet and your dad
seemed really interested in the magical world. I didn't quite like
that they thought I might have to get braces, though! Nope, that's
not for me. I'll try a teeth straightening spell, but Mum did that
to me when I was little, only the one tooth is crooked, and I think
it looks rather dashing.
Well, we're at my home now. Harry's
in the room…thinks I'm writing a school paper. Like I'm
honestly thinking about that? I know it's hard to think about,
but…we might not even go back to school! What's the point?
June
is coming to a close. Next month will bring a trip to France among
other things. Your good bye to your family was quite sad, and I don't
want to think about what will happen when I leave mine.
I'm not
ready for this war.
Ron
